    Best 'bad fielders' XI

    Not opened it yet but...Ian Salisbury? Could have been the beginning of him becoming our Shane Warne - oh...Gatt!!

    Should cricket strive to 'grow' as a sport...

    Hiya - I ask this as i have mates who are rugby league fans. Rugby League made a conscious attempt to grow the sport through franchises - there can be little doubt that the expansion into France has been a success but they had history in the game. They tried Wales but that has always been a...

    Best 'bad fielders' XI

    plenty of 'chunky' sportsmen have surprised many despite not being body beautiful - Tyson Fury springs to mind. To rip Chandra for his polio and include him in this would be 'too far' though. Clearly. I remember Gatt taking a great catch in the Headingley 81 test - was it a little floater off...

    Best 'bad fielders' XI

    Thanks - yeah Monty was pretty poor and something of a liability. Not sure he was a 'very good' bowler though, let alone a great one - suppose you could say the same for Tuffers though. Ranatunga was awful, I am wary of avoiding fat or disability sharing here - I mean Chandra was limited as a...

    Best 'bad fielders' XI

    He pulled off some great catches, he also pulled off some moments of comedy gold - there are people like that in all walks of life...

    Best 'bad fielders' XI

    Just done some further looking at this - Murali was an odd one, capable of both brilliance and some comedic moments in the field. Did his fielding get better as his career developed?

    Best 'bad fielders' XI

    Evening - loved reading the post about Jonty Rhodes earlier, one of the few cricketers who struck fear into the opposition with his fielding. There was a sort of reputation around it that made you not dare take what would be a comfortable single to practically anyone else - must have been worth...

    Who is the 2nd greatest Kiwi Bowler?

    Good question - Bond was a real shooting star who didn't shoot for all that long. Quality operator though. Was always a big fan of Dion Nash, who deserves a mention in this conversation even if few will have him second. He's a bankable top 5 for my money - really dangerous on his day and those...

    The long tail conundrum...

    Morning - hope we're good. I was just looking at an interesting post about the SA ATG XI for limited overs cricket and picked up on a detail which would pose a selection headache, namely that the OP had Allan Donald batting at #9 in his team. Great bowler as AD certainly was there is no way in...

    Best spinner other than Warne & Murali

    no Swann? not saying he wins but he deserves to be on this list for consideration

    Most profound World Cup Winners

    I've always thought the most important world cups have been those that have led to the emergence of a new nation. Zimbabwe being the first obvious one, Kenya and Ireland later on. Out of interest...how do cricket fans feel about the world cup itself? It just doesn't strike me as 'grabbing'...

    Most Controversial Moments in Cricket History?

    Not sure how far the list it would appear but 'the Rob Bailey incident' definitely deserves a place on said list, even if it's at #9 or something. Misses the ball by miles, is emphatically given not out by an umpire who knows he's missed it. Opposing captain, supprorted by a hostile crowd...

    Should cricket aspire to be a 'global game' or not?

    Zimbabwe had a good team in the late 1990s to be fair, was tragic how politics ruined them.
